Day 274 and 275: Cold Snow

One reason I was excited about coming here was the snow and the beautiful winters that the north would bring. Whenever I told people that live here or have lived here that, they said it will get old fast. While I didn't believe them at first, I do now because I'm SICK OF SNOW!!! Saturday we had 8-10 inches. It came down in beautiful sheets all day but resulted in slick roads, my car getting stuck in a parking lot, walking in wet snow to your knees, never knowing when your foot would hit the ground or if you're stepping down or up because you can't see the ground, and all of the cold windy air that not even Jack Frost could tolerate. The only thing that makes the horrible weather forgivable is the fact that it's a beautiful sight. That is, it's gorgeous until the next day when it's a melting, muddy, tire tread outlined, icy, slippery ground of danger. No matter if snow is good or bad, it's part of life and we must go on with the show.
